41,063 people have died so far due to Covid-19 in Italy, so far, and about 902,490 cases of Coronavirus have been recorded since the beginning of the outbreak of the epidemic, and the northern Lombardy region, which is located in the Italian commercial capital Milan, remained the most affected region, as it reported 11,489 new cases on Saturday and 9,934 cases on Friday.
The neighboring Piedmont region was the second worst-hit, with 4,437 cases, compared to 4,878 the previous day, and Italy agreed to new aid to mitigate the damage to the economy from restrictions it imposed earlier this week in an attempt to halt the resurgence of the pandemic.
